Configuring the Shelf ID
The Cisco AS5800 consists of a router shelf and a dial shelf. To distinguish the slot/port number on the
Cisco AS5800, you must specify the shelf number. The default shelf number is 0 for the router shelf and
1 for the dial shelf.
Caution You must reload the Cisco AS5800 for the new shelf number to take effect. Because the shelf number
is part of the interface names when you reload, all NVRAM interface configuration information is
lost.
Normally you do not need to change the shelf IDs; however, if you do, we recommend that you change
the shelf number when you initially access the setup facility. For information on the setup facility, refer
to the Cisco AS5800 Universal Access Server Software Installation and Configuration Guide.
If you are booting the router shelf from the network (netbooting), you can change the shelf numbers
using the shelf-id command.
To configure the dial shelf, you save and verify the configuration in EXEC mode, and enter shelf-id
commands in global configuration mode, as indicated in the following steps:
Command Purpose
Step 1
Router# copy startup-configure tftp
Saves your current configuration. Changing the shelf
number removes all interface configuration information
when you reload the Cisco AS5800.
Step 2
Router# configure terminal
Begins global configuration mode.
Step 3
Router(config)# shelf-id number router-shelf
Specifies the router shelf ID.
Step 4
Router(config)# shelf-id number dial-shelf
Specifies the dial shelf ID.
Step 5
Router(config)# exit
Exits global configuration mode.
Step 6
Router# copy running-config startup-config
Saves your configuration. This step is optional.
Step 7
Router# show version
Verifies that the correct shelf number will be changed after
the next reload.
Step 8
Router# reload components all
Instructs the DSC (or DSCs in a redundant configuration) be
reloaded at the same time as a reload on the router shelf.
Type “yes” to the “save config” prompt.
Configure one interface so that its router shelf has
connectivity to the server with the configuration.
Step 9
Router# copy tftp startup-config
Because changing the shelf number removes all interface
configuration information when you reload the
Cisco AS5800, edit the configuration file saved in step 1 and
download it.
